I picked up one of these last night as I was having issues with my trust DG834G as I thought it was faulty (it's knocking on for some 6 years old) even though it will connect to the net the DG 834G sometimes when using wireless Windows reports no internet connection. The solution is to reboot the router and off it goes.

Normally Netgear stuff works right away strgiht out the box but the DGN1000 I picked up for £39.99 is giving me a massive head ache. It connects to the net fine, I've made a note of the settings I had on the old router but it takes ages to open web poages, face book, Hexus whatever. I've had enough time to go away, prepare something to eat and come back and it's still loading a web page. Just think Dial Up !

My laptop refuses to connect to it, and I've reset it to default settings every time. I've checked with Plus Net to even review the settings and it's got the guys there in Yorkshire think that the router is faulty. Am thinking of taking it to a mates place and getting them to test it for me and if it does it there on a different ISP it's going back for a refund as it appears the old Router is now working perfectly.

Pitty realy as the new router connects to the line at 18 meg !
